Removing Apps and Boot Animation - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just installed Dark'y ROM on my Bell Canada SGS and have a few questions.
1.) Is there a way to remove ROM apps? like Layar or MIUI Music?
2.) I just got the SGS and still not board of the SGS boot animation, although Darky Animation is cool i would like the original S animation.
3.) Any cool Live wallpapers or Apps you as a SGS owner can suggest i install?

Yes but you need to either ask Darky or learn how to remove stuff from a ROM and resign it .
SGS Tools may help from the phone likewise .
Root Explorer will let you delete Boot animation

[Q]Removing ATT Bloatware, and icons from apps menu

Hi all. I know titanium backup has the option to delete att bloatwares but how do I also remove the icons that is associated with it via the applications menu? Also I flashed my roms to the Perception 8 version, and my phone did not random shutdown but as soon as I load a live wallpaper, within 30 minutes it shut down on me. Does anyone know if this is a bug or not?
Is there a way to flash to the next roms of my choice without having to revert back to stock everytime? Using ODIN and flashing to stock eclair takes too long....

If you delete it, it won't be in the app drawer.

Your own rom over p8? Not sure what you're saying. No lwp bug in any rom I know of. Plus most, if not all, custom roms, have no bloat. Idk what you're asking.

Yes, cwm. But is always best to start from stock.

oh hehe no no no... what I mean is I flashed back to stock rom then to perception 8, had no problem charging it to 100% at night, but as soon as I load a live wallpaper from the market, it turn off after 30 min or so. It's the fish wallpaper where you can feed the fish ... lol ... or maybe the wallpaper sucks?!?!

[Q] Theme and market problem (should be easy for you lott ;D)

Hey everyonee
im having seriouse trouble with my SanFrancisco phone from orange ( Zte Blade )
iv successfully rooted my phone and have clockworkrecoveryMod Working fab
but i have a couple of problems, i recently upgraded to froyo (android 2.2) using this page: Orange San Francisco phone handset – How to unlock, root and upgrade Android 2.1 to 2.2 FroYo The IT Bod
i have done this correctly and im happy with the result, (apart from all my data been lost, but i dont mind as long as i have froyo
but heres the problem,
I realllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like this theme
Minimal Matte 1.5 CM6 Full Rom! 8/7 - xda-developers
http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/matte.png
so iv saved the theme as update.zip and put it in the root of my phone,
then i opend clockwork and selected the theme correctly, and installation was succesfull,
but when i boot up again after the installation the android startup screen is stuck,
and also, using this new froyo, i cant seem to download and install apps of the market?
anyone helpp plzzz )))))))))
Just do these commands, you need to reflash your froyo rom, but your data is lost i think. Open your recovery and make:
1. Full wipe
2. wipe cache
3. wipe SD:ext
3. Flash your froyo rom, than reboot and you get back the original froyo.
Don't forget: every rom has a special theme for itself, you can't flash every theme with every rom. If you want an alternative read about metamorph.
is that rom even for your phone? Use the theme porter to inject the theme into your rom.

hmm, im not too keen on wiping all the data again :/
the phone originally came with android 2.1 but you can root and update it to 2.2, is it possible that the rom i installed just doesnt support the themes? do i need to install a patch? im not even sure i backed up correctly, even thought in the rom manager i clicked backup" it didnt really do anything, this idea of injecting sounds good, but wouldnt the same problem occur?
thanks for replying

nah nothing wrong happens when you port the theme to the rom you are using. i've ported like 5-6 themes already.
iv been using clockworkrecoverymod to install the themes under update.zip
but theres also the problem with the market, iv done alot of searching to find out y the apps wont install of the market, any ideas? thx
im gradually thinking it would be best to start clean, and if i were to start again how would i install 2.2 android onto a zte blade without hacking it?
thnx alot ;D

[Q] Question: themes and roms cause force closes and apps don't work

sgs: froyo 2.2.1 xxjpy (flashed with odin; kies doesn't work on my computer), newest speedmodkernel (k12q) and CWM:
every time i install a rom (cyanogenmod 6 or darkys rom 8.1) or a theme (midnight theme 4) all impotant apps and system apps close and intallation of new apps also doesn't work... I restored my backup and now all is fine but I'd like to install a theme...
does anyone have similiar problems?
please help me
YES !!! i had this problem last week and it was really pissing me off !! everytime i booted the phone everythin was force closing and i couldnt do a single thing.. this only happened when i flashed a theme.. i have no idea but i think its somethin to do with the launcher that comes with the theme.. i re flashed about 5 times and it still never got sorted..
Anyway i ended up cooking my self up a custom ROM over at Doc's kitchen, and i chose every bit of the ROM i wanted, and forgot about the stuff i didnt. all is well now, my phone is lightning fast and i am in love again... I am also using ZEAM launcher and i am impressed..
Sorry for the long post but its worth a shot cooking up your own ROM.

[Q] Changing boot animation for stock froyo, samsung galaxy s i9000

Hi,
I am currently on stock froyo and wanted to know how to change the boot animation for my phone.
I have heard that all you need to do is replace the bootanimation.zip file but when i do go to /system/media folder, all i have relating to the bootanimation are these 2 files:
1. bootsamsung.qmg
2. bootsamsungloop.qmg
So what am i supposed to do now?
Please help!
P.S - sorry if this thread is in the wrong place.
Rom Kitchin update zip boot animation only is the easy way .
Themes section has info on themes .
http://romkitchen.org/
jje
Thanks. Flashed new ROM from the kitchen and changed my bootanimation too
any news?
hey, i was wandering maybe you guys can help me with that..
i have he exact same problam, it's just that i dont want to change the entire ROM just for the boot animation, any chance you know how to change it?
thanks!
same as jje said
update.zip made in romkitchen boot animation only
thankd dude, no "hard" way i guess...
i've been reading a lot about the issue and it seems no one has yet cracked it...
:\
cracked what issue ??
i dont know what you mean, there is no issue, if you want to change boot animation ONLY then do it in the ROM Kitchen. you DO NOT have to flash the whole ROM again.
Problem is that the update is missing from the kitchen for some reason .
jje
oh i see..... My bad, i had no idea
maybe OP could download basic ROM with desired Bootanimation, then extract and push through root explorer.
longer than usual process, but depends on how desperate they are for new animation.

[Q] Just want a phone that works :(

So I bought a Samsung Galaxy S from ebay, which had been rooted, and is currently running Jelly Bean with apex launcher.
I have had so many problems and had to flash the new rom on it countless times now and I'm sick of losing everything every time and never trusting my phone. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?
I had a notification for an update for Apex Launcher a couple of days ago through the play store, so I updated it. It then would kept failing, and telling me "Apex Launcher is not responding". It wouldn't even respond long enough for me to turn it off normally... I had to take the battery out in order to turn the power off.
This was not the first time Apex had crashed on me so I thought I'd download Go Launcher instead. It all seemed fine, however it started to randomly rearrange all my icons and then wouldn't let me customise it at all - couldn't add new app shortcuts, widgets, or rearrange anything whatsoever.
I decided to factory reset and wipe the caches etc and flash the original rom on it for now, but not sure if I should try and remove Apex somehow and use something else or if it's the rom I'm using or what?!
Would anyone be able to help??
sorry forgot to mention that I am almost a complete noob at this and flashing a new rom is about the only thing I can do, I have no idea what all the different roms are etc I just flash the one that was already saved on the memory card that came with the phone!

downlaod a more stable ro(cm9 maybe or ics rom,I dont know because I dont have i9000 but i9001),just go to i9000 android development and download a rom.Then install it in recovery but before installing wipe everything(data,cache and dalvik),u will see that in how to install section.Just follow the instructions
Hey,
Start from the beginning.
Download JVZ or JPU rom (Gingerbread of Froyo), flash via Odin. It is really simple. Root it and install CWM.
Next Download pure CM10, install it via CWM. Only the your system will be clean and fresh.
Hey
If u hav I9000 then downgrade to 2.3.6(link given below..)..that should solve ur issues..
